'''Corey Ian Haim''' (December 23, 1971 – March 10, 2010) was a Canadian actor. He starred in ''[[Silver Bullet (film)|Silver Bullet]]'' (1985), ''[[Murphy's Romance]]'' (1985), ''[[Lucas (film)|Lucas]]'' (1986), ''[[License to Drive]]'' (1988) and ''[[Dream a Little Dream (film)|Dream a Little Dream]]'' (1989). His role alongside [[Corey Feldman]] in ''[[The Lost Boys]]'' (1987) made him a household name. Corey Feldman would not have gained the notoriety that he had if it were not for Corey Haim. Corey Haim was always the better actor of the two and always getting the roles. This made Corey Feldman Furiousfurious when he found out that he had taken one roll in particular. Corey Feldman has always been a D list actor as an adult and weird at that especially now. Corey Haim should not be known for the two Corey's he should be known for his own personal work.<ref name=nytimes>{{cite news |title=Double Shot of Reality |first=Mickey |last=Rapkin |date=July 29, 2007 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/29/fashion/29nite.html |work=The New York Times |access-date=April 8, 2007}}</ref><ref name=dukecnn>{{cite news|title='Lost Boys' star Corey Haim dies at 38|first=Alan|last=Duke|date=March 10, 2010|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/10/corey.haim.obit/index.html|publisher=CNN|access-date=March 18, 2010}}</ref> Known as [[The Two Coreys]], the duo became 1980s icons and appeared together in seven films,<ref name="Corey Haim's Life Mirrored Pop Culture">{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1633624/20100310/story.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100312130842/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1633624/20100310/story.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 12, 2010|title=Corey Haim's Life Mirrored Pop Culture|publisher=MTV|first=James |last=Montgomery |date=March 10, 2010|access-date=March 24, 2010}}</ref> later starring in the [[A&E (TV channel)|A&E]] American [[reality show]] ''[[The Two Coreys (TV series)|The Two Coreys]]''.
